Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by Veggie by Season!

This blog was formerly A Year in the Kitchen. When I began blogging, the intention was to chronicle my first year in the kitchen as a married gal. I had so much fun that it lasted three wonderful years.

My life has changed a lot in those three years though, and so has my blogging style and content. I was a former vegetarian for 7 years, but began a bit of meat again in college and for two years post graduation. I began phasing it out of my diet, and went back to being a vegetarian for life.

Just when I think I can't eat any more eggplant and zucchini, squash invade the market and save me. Then I finally get to go back into my google reader, and scroll through the millions of recipes I have starred to try that showcase squash! I have to say, spaghetti squash is probably my least favorite, but if I find a recipe where it looks amazing, I'm willing to use it rather than my beloved butternut.

I found this recipe on Eats Well With Others, so I knew it was going to be good. Joanne never steers me wrong, and has the same appreciation for squash that I do. I made this recipe as written, but added a handful of frozen sweet peas. Something about non-traditional pasta dishes with peas, I just love'em! For the pasta component, I only had vegetable fettuccini on hand, which made this bowl sure look weird! However, don't let the weirdness steer you away (or look at Joanne's photos, which look luscious and creamy). This is a great squashy, but not will-burn-you-out-on-it's-squashness dish.

Haha so random but I actually just bought my first spaghetti squash of the season yesterday! I guess we've both got spaghetti squash on the brain. I'm so glad you liked it! I always forget about spaghetti squash when I'm really craving a decadent pasta dish but don't want all the calories..thanks for the reminder!

This looks amazing! I think I"ll make it tonight and feature it on my weight loss blog tomorrow (365daysand100pounds.blogspot.com). I've also added you to my links, I think my readers will love your food!
